What's on at the WSOP today? It's the final Sunday of the 2026 summer series, and here's what's taking place.
In case you missed it: A player in the WSOP Main Event on Saturday - on the cusp of a $20K payjump - stalled for 17 minutes with just a single chip to his name.
Did anyone call the clock? No.
Did a TD eventually step in? Yes.
Did he win the hand? Details below.
Not enough people use these moves in tournament poker: But thanks to poker pro, author and coach Alex Fitzgerald, you don't have to stay one of them.
Lex en vivo? Celebrated poker streamer Lex Veldhuis has announced he will be relocating from his home country of the Netherlands to Costa Rica at the end of the month.

As Lex confirms in his post, below, "The streams will remain steady and consistent on Sundays, Tuesdays, Wednesdays, and Thursdays... The only difference is that they’ll now be in a better time slot"

The biggest stacks in the biggest tournament: Day 6 of the WSOP Main Event is over and these are the 10 chip leaders among the 62 players who remain.
Names you may recognize include Hossein Ensan (who won the Main Event in 2019) and Todd Brunson, whose father Doyle was kinda known around these parts.
Read our full Day 6 recap below.
High Roller wraps. The $50K went down on the side stage, where Jamie Dwan won his first bracelet and $2.2 million. Missing out on number two was Daniel Rezaei, while Bryn Kenney added $1M to his all-time money lead in third.
Neymar Jr. busts $10K 6-Handed Championship: The Brazilian footballing legend is out of the running in this one. And it's a freezeout, so no chance for a second bullet spin up.
After he and his Brazilian countrymen fell to Norway in the Round of 16 at the World Cup, Neymar hopped on a flight to Las Vegas for the last of the WSOP action – read all about it.
Pick Your Bracelet. Sergio Benso is the champion of the first-ever Pick Your PLO event, nabbing $196 and his first WSOP title.
Those old familiar footsteps. A jolt of nostalgia has run through the top of the chip counts with the emergence of Ralph Perry (Sean's dad) as one of the leaders.
Perry, known by some as the third-place finisher in the 2002 Main Event, and by others as the other half of Tony G's "On Your Bike" confrontation, is now up over 23 million.
$50K High Roller on dinner break, four players remain: Daniel Rezaei leads the final four by a considerable margin.
With about three times the stack size of his nearest competitor – Paulius Vaitiekunas – Rezaei can apply endless pressure to his opponents as they hope to outlast one another for the pay ladders.
Ali Nejad and Nick Schulman back for the night shift: If you've never had the pleasure of listening to the dynamic duo work their magic from the commentary booth, tune into the livestream now – it's worth it, trust us.
Will Givens likes a long dinner break: After last night's disappearing and re-appearing act, everyone was watching to see if Givens came back, say, in higher spirits again. Spoiler #1: He didn't come back.
Spoiler #2: After close to an hour, Givens returned to his 12 million chip stack with a half-eaten order of sushi and several more hours of play to go.
DId Hellmuth just leak information about the 2026 Poker HOF?: It appears as though Phil Hellmuth has just leaked two key pieces of information about the 2026 Poker Hall of Fame inductees: first, that Mike Matusow isn't one of them, and second, that four players are ascending into the ranks.
Prior to this, we have had no indication about the number of inductees. With the changes to the voting procedure instituted this year, the number could have been anywhere from 1-6.
And we didn't know that Matusow wasn't one of them. If you roll the tape on the video below (move quickly, it could be deleted any minute), you'll hear Hellmuth argue the case for his longtime friend – and it's pretty apparent that he's doing so with complete confidence that Matusow wasn't selected.
"It's harder for some of the players to vote for Mike this year because of the four studs that have like six, seven, eight bracelets and have played high stakes poker forever," Hellmuth said. "But Mike needs to get in one of these years – for a lot of good reasons."
Neymar Jr. has $10K and some free time: With Brazil no longer in the World Cup, its veteran star Neymar Jr. has a little time to kill.
If you're looking for him, he's currently sitting in the $10K Six-Max at the WSOP in Las Vegas.
Negreanu loses a flip, busts $50K High Roller: The Canadian will have to wait a little longer for his 9th WSOP bracelet. Negreanu got the last of his chips in with 
against Jamie Dwan's 
and came out on the wrong side of the flip.
For his eighth-place finish, he adds $226,086 to his career earnings.
Daniel Smiljkovic followed suit shortly after – six players now remain in the hunt for the bracelet.
Negreanu on the short stack: With a little more than 10 big blinds to work with, Daniel Negreanu is short-stacked and up against it on the final table of the $50K High Roller.
Still, all it takes is one double up for him to get right back in it.
Daniel Rezaei remains in control of the chip lead, with Paulius Vaitiekunas not far off.
Foxen makes final table, finishes 9th: She was short-stacked when she arrived at the final table of the $50,000 High Roller, but making it was enough for a $50K pay jump. Her 9th place finish put another $179,480 in her winnings column.
$50,000 High Roller on final table bubble. Daniel Negreanu and Kristen Foxen will try to spin it up from the bottom, while Bryn Kenney lurks in the middle. They're all chasing Daniel Rezaei.
1. Daniel Rezaei -10.7M
2. Paulius Vaitiekunas - 9.2M
3. Timur Margolin - 7.8M
4. Josef Schusterisch - 7.1M
5. Eric Yanovsky - 6.8M
6. Daniel Smiljkovic - 6.7M
7. Bryn Kenney - 3.5M
8. Jamie Dwan - 3.3M
9. Kristen Foxen - 2.9M
10. Daniel Negreanu - 2.6M
Two women remain: Moments ago, Will Givens' ace-nine managed to outrun Sarah Lee's ace-ten. With Lee now at the cage, the 2026 Main Event field has only two women remaining. Both, Caitlin Comeskey and Congya Zhang, are currently sitting on feature tables.
Toddler run-good?: When we interviewed Ricardo Cermeno-Sandoval last summer, he had a new baby and the biggest score of his career. Now he's in the Main Event and going deep. Is toddler run-good a thing?
Matt Salsberg eliminated: It was another deep run for the screenwriting poker pro.
"I've got a real hand," he declared when his pocket jacks got a call. from ace-queen. That real hand held up for ten seconds before seeing an ace on the turn and the end of his Main Event. He earned $65,000.
Take a breather. Day 6 of the 2026 WSOP Main Event is now on its first break. The field of 144 remaining players will return in 20 minutes.
The break will be a chance to relax for Terrance Reid, who just scored a double on one of the outer tables.
Sarah Herring's Day 6 preview: Need to catch-up quickly on where things stand on Day 6? Sarah Herring has you covered.
William Givens watch: We've got eyes on William Givens this morning. He's late but in his seat and a little quieter than last night.
We'll keep an eye on him for you into the afternoon, but by that point you will probably be able to hear him from wherever you are.
We've got cards in the air: It's time for Main Event Day 6 action in Las Vegas – let's get ready to rumble.
There's 174 players still in the hunt and they're all dreaming about the bracelet below.
Hustler Casino Live representing well at the Main Event: There's only 174 players still in the hunt for the Main Event bracelet – and three of them are well familiar with each other.
Andy 'Stacks' Tsai, Wesley Fei, and Francisco Fragoso are all regular players on the Hustler Casino Live cash game streams – Tsai and Fei less so as of late, but all three have put in serious volume on the Los Angeles livestream.
The Fab Four: After Leo Margets' final table run in 2025, a record-setting 431 women entered the Main Event this year.
Of that number, only four now remain as Day 6 play gets underway shortly.
Main Event players under the radar: Every year, there are a few notable names who reach the later stages of the Main Event without much fanfare surrounding them.
Here's a quick glance at a few players flying under the radar:
Daniel Negreanu deep in the High Roller: Roll the tape below to see how 'Kid Poker' bagged up a big stack for Day 3 of the $50K.
WSOP Day 47: It's a Saturday in Las Vegas, here's what to watch for at the World Series of Poker.
The Main Event moves on to Day 6 with only 174 players remaining. It was a bloodbath of a Day 5 that saw big names like Alex Foxen and Michael Mizrachi bow out of the running. When the action resumes at 11:00am local time, we'll bring you all the big moments. Shaun Deeb is still in the mix – with a healthy stack no less.
Elsewhere in the Paris and Horseshoe ballrooms, Day 1D of the $300 Gladiators of Poker begins today at 10:00am local time.
We'll see Day 2 action in the $3,000 Mid-Stakes Championship where 923 players remain in the hunt.
The $50K High Roller will play down to a winner today. With 13 players remaining, the last of the big no-limit buy-ins will award a seven-figure prize to the eventual winner. Daniel Negreanu, Bryn Kenney, Erik Seidel, Kristen Foxen, and Chris Brewer are all still in the running.
In its first iteration at the summer series, the $1,500 Pick Your PLO drew a field of 857 entrants across Day 1. Now, only 10 remain and they'll play down to a winner today.
The $3,000 T.O.R.S.E. sees Day 2 play later today with 157 players remaining from a field of 457. It's a murderer's row of mixed game masters in there, but only one can be crowned champion.
And, last but not least, the $1,500 The Closer NLH kicks off the first of two Day 1 starting flights today.
50K High Roller gets tense. The final two tables are battling it out for a spot on Day 3. Negreanu is in the mix, but he now trails a mighty group. A few top chip-havers as the hour gets late:
Daniel Smiljkovic - 8.3M
Daniel Rezaei - 7.5M
Timur Margolin - 6.4M
Erik Seidel - 6M
Bryn Kenney - 4.6M
Daniel Negreanu - 4.6M
Day 5 is in the bank. It was a wild one. Our full story:
Matthew Shepsky wins $1K Mystery Bounty PLO ($305,000): He also gets his first WSOP bracelet after coming out on top of a huge field of 4,764. Shepsky beat Alex Manzano heads-up, with Chris Vitch finishing in fourth.
Better luck next year: In a post-elim interview with Jeff Platt, Michael Mizrachi's spirits were high despite the obvious disappointment.
"Whatever. It's all good. Next year, right?" he said. "It's been an amazing year. I can't complain."
No back-to-back Main Event wins for Mizrachi: The 2025 champ was bobbing and weaving late on Day 5 as only he can, but ran into it.
After moving in for his 365K with 
, 'Grinder' found a caller in 2019 Main Event winner Hossein Ensan. It was champ-on-champ violence for the third time today, but Mizrachi failed to improve against Ensan's pocket aces and his title defense came to an end.
"One of the most legendary players of all time," said Nick Schulman in the commentary booth. "We say good game to you, sir. Very."
Negreanu in the driver's seat: We've got a new chip leader in the $50K High Roller.
Negreanu's pocket aces held up against the pocket queens of Pavel Plesuv to deliver a monster pot to the Canadian and send the Moldovan to the rail.
With more than 4M in his stack, he now leads ahead of Daniel Smiljkovic, Bryn Kenney, and the rest of the field.
Alex Foxen out of the Main Event: Kristen Foxen will retain her grip on the record for deepest run in the Main Event within the Foxen household as her husband Alex is now out of the Main Event late on Day 5.
Foxen ran into it – twice over – when he jammed his 365K with 
. Ryan Miller called behind with 
before Dan Stavila woke up with 
in the big blind. It all went in the middle and Stavila's top boat delivered him a Foxen KO and more than 6M chips while Miller was left on fumes.
Suvarna bubbles $50K, players on dinner break: After notching a third bracelet earlier in the series, Santhosh Suvarna served as the bubble boy in the $50K High Roller NLH.
With his elimination, 31 players made the money – of which 29 now remain and are on dinner break.
Bryn Kenney holds a slim chip lead over the field, followed closely by Daniel Smiljkovic and Eelis Parssinen.
Double double: Michael Mizrachi has breathing room again. The 2025 Main Event champ committed his 445K with 
in the face of an open and a three-bet from Hossein Ensan. It was too good of a price for Ensan to turn down and he made the call with 
.
The two champs locked horns for a second all-in clash and Grinder emerged victorious once again to return to the seven-figure stack club.
Mizrachi hangs in there. The reigning champ is on the ropes, but he's a hard target. Fellow former champ Hossein Ensan went for the KO with , but 
survived to keep Grinder in it with around 500K.
And of course it did, because that's the exact hand Mizrachi has tattooed on his arm.
Lose some, win some: Only moments after taking a tumble with bottom set against an opponent's flopped flush, Alex Foxen has found a resurgence to the seven-figure stack club.
The livestream picked up the action with Philipp Hasenburger all-in and at-risk for his 475K stack with 
against Foxen's .
On the 
flop, Hasenburger found himself with only one out to stay alive. The 
turn card restored his other out, however, providing just a faint glimmer of added hope.
"Quite rare, you go from one out to two," observed Nick Schuman from the booth.
The 
river completed the board, however, and Hasenburger was sent to the payout desk as Foxen hauled in the pot to take him back over the million-chip mark.
Phil Hellmuth eliminated from $50K High Roller: He nearly made it to the bubble after max late-regging, but came a cropper with a pair of eights. 33 players are left and 31 get paid.
Foxen takes a tumble. One of many major storylines playing out on the ESPN telecast, Alex Foxen was hard-charging with 1.7M before running into Ryan Miller's flush.
Foxen had 
on a flop of 
, but Miller had 
. It went in on the turn, and Miller survived to double to 2.2M. The big pot left Foxen with 705K.
Main Event players reach third break on Day 5: Of the 533 players who started the day, only 288 remain – and they're all off on a 20 minute break.
If they haven't already considered it, we've now reached the point where realistic dreams of a final table appearance – and maybe even the bracelet below – begin to take shape for all still in the hunt.
Final table set in $1K PLO Mystery Bounty: Jeremy Kerbel is the chip leader after eliminating Shawn Stroke in 9th place. There's $305,000 up top.
We caught up with Caitlin Comeskey ahead of her evening on ESPN: "I don't feel overwhelmed. I feel calm. I feel good. I had a great break. Had three cigarettes. Took some deep breaths, did some breathing exercises, just watched Lilias White sing Don't Rain on My Parade."
Read more below and watch her on ESPN Now!
Check out the WSOP Main Event feature tables: They've now got full chip counts, cards and all the action, so you can actually sweat and see what's going on. We expect the bleachers to start filling between now and Monday evening.
6pm Main Event livestream tables are bangers: Caitlin Comeskey and Tony Dunst are on one, Alex Foxen and Masato Yokosawa headline the second, while the third has Michael Mizrachi, Hossein Ensan and Lara Eisenberg.
